• Assist with reporting, data collection, and administrative processes that support the Maintenance and Operations teams.
• Identify discrepancies or opportunities within data and work with team members to resolve issues.
• Support special projects and other business initiatives as assigned.

• Asset Management: Learn how transportation companies track, manage, utilize, and maintain their equipment.
• Data Analysis: Work with business data and reporting to identify trends, discrepancies, and opportunities.
• Financial Awareness: Gain exposure to Profit & Loss reporting and how operational decisions can impact financial performance.

• Communication: Work with a variety of internal and external customers and learn how to communicate effectively in a professional environment.
• Decision-Making: See firsthand how accurate data and reporting contribute to larger business decisions.
  

What We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing a degree in Business Analytics, Finance, Supply Chain, Business Administration, or a related field.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Comfortable working with data and learning new software systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
